First Papermill LLC has applied to the Zoning Commission for a cluster conservation subdivision on a relatively steep 67-acre site on the west side of Papermill. This is the latest of several attempts dating back to the 1990s by developer Vic Nelson, a principal in First Papermill, to develop the site, which is on the side of Mt. Tom.

The Planning Commission tabled action Sept. 2 on whether or not to recommend the zone change necessary that would allow the proposed cluster conservation subdivision. The Zoning Commission has a hearing scheduled for Oct. 26 on the proposal.

Engineer Steve Trinkaus said there would be 14 lots with 80 percent of the site dedicated as open space. The open space abuts the perimeter.
